When someone we love dies, there is often an intense emptiness, an utter loneliness that resides deep within us. We struggle to make sense of and fully accept the way we now experience the love of that person in death. We know that they’re still with us in a very real way—in our hearts and memories. Sometimes their presence is so real, that we can still hear their voice; we can still smell their smell; we can still feel the touch of their hand. Our loved ones may not be here in body but they are very much with us in spirit.

Jesus remains with us in Spirit and Truth through the great gift of the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist, which is a constant reminder of how much He loves us.
